Actually, all I need is a way of making libxml2 silent about _all_
warnings.  Errors can still halt the program.  This is a bit
complicated because I am using libxml2 indirectly through gnome-vfs.
Looking at the source, I get the feeling that something like this is
already implemented.  I just have no idea how to reach it indirectly.
